IN MEMORIAM
Perhaps at no time within memory of the oldest inhabitant has such a shock been felt in our little community as that which ran like lightning through the village on Tuesday morning last in the whispered words ‘Mrs. Geo. PRESTON is dead.’ At first it seemed almost incredible, as only the day previous the lamented lady had been in perfect health and spirits. On making enquiries we found the news only too true, and that Mrs. PRESTON had passed away at 5 o clock that morning. We may state that she died in giving birth to twins, both of whom are dead.

We are exceedingly pleased to hear that our energetic townsman Mr. George PATMORE has just received an order to manufacture sixty new wagons for the Gold Fields trade. This speaks well for Cathcart and we congratulate Mr. PATMORE on the justly celebrated name he has established for himself.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Newton HART, which sad event took place about 10 o clock this morning. To the sorrowing husband and family of the deceased lady we tender our heartfelt sympathy.
